Dan responds with a trio of smoking mounds (a phrase, coincidentally, that was also in Coudal’s nurse book). By their expressions and eyelashes they might better be described as a post-coital menage a trois of smoking mounds, a phrase, I'm certain, with zero google hits before today.
Mysteriously, our fanged antagonist seems to have been borne from this unholy coupling, appearing from the mound smoke like some Norse god whom I’m pretty sure was birthed out of smoke, mound or otherwise. Layer Tennis deadline pressure does not permit me the time for proper research.
Phineas will now take a crack at the mounds (cripes, Double Duty Nurse just won't get out of my head), and we'll see where this historical, snaggle-toothed, anthropomorphic, samurai sex fantasy takes us as it unfolds.
And with every layer, we'll continue posting as it happens video of Dan and Phineas at work in the studio.
Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Kevin Guilfoile.

Tomorrow we continue our series of live, experimental Layer Tennis Exhibitions with a motion graphics match between Matt Smithson and Daniel Oeffinger. As usual, the action starts at 2pm Chicago time. Check the time in your area. What is unusual is that the match won't finish until next Thursday. We'll be posting two layers per weekday. We've always wondered what would happen if we gave a couple artists a lot more time to do each volley and this week we'll find out. Commentary is by Jason Koxvold, who knows a little something about LYT and mo-graf. Jason's Match Preview has been posted and so has the coin-flip.
